Dear Activist,

It would be unprecedented in recent history for the Supreme Court to go an entire year with a vacant seat. It would be disgraceful if the reason it did so was for political gain.

But that is exactly what Mitch McConnell and Senate Republicans are vowing to do. With 11 months left in President Obama's term, Republicans have announced they won't consider any nominee for the highest court in the land.

Join our official Senate Democrats' petition to demand Mitch McConnell and Senate Republicans stop playing politics with the Supreme Court.

Senate Democrats have never acted recklessly like this -- when faced with just this situation in 1988, we voted to confirm Justice Anthony Kennedy. There was no talk of doing nothing until after that year's election -- it was unthinkable then to leave the Court short-handed for that long, and remains so now.

President Obama has said that he will send the Senate a nominee in due time. My Democratic colleagues stand ready to consider and vote on that nominee. But I fear that only a surge of grassroots pressure against the Republicans will be enough to make McConnell and the GOP change their minds.

Can I count on your help?

ADD YOUR NAME: Tell Mitch McConnell and Senate Republicans to stop playing politics with the Supreme Court and drop their outrageous policy to block anyone President Obama nominates.

Thank you for standing with us,

Sen. Harry Reid
